Description
ONE LOOK AND YOU'LL BE FROZEN WITH FEAR.
Braydon Harris and Suki, his little girl, are leaving her grandparent's house when a huge truck jack-knifes in front of their car. Suki is thrown from the vehicle and ends up in hospital suffering with terrible burns.
Luckily, cryptozoology professor Nathan Underhill is working on a perfect cure. Underhill breeds mythological beasts, and lately he's been working with the legendary phoenix - whose cells he believes might hold exceptional healing properties against burns.
Despite the treatment, Suki finds that the pain from the burns only exacerbates a terrible nightmare she's had for years - one that's becoming realer by the minute, about scary things flying through the sky... and now they're headed straight for her.
Petrified is an original and terrifying fantasy horror thriller from the Master of Horror himself, Graham Masterton.
